| Difficult age, food from the canteen and smect.
|
| Girlfriends from the sect came to the grandmother
|
| Drink tinctures, rub your heels with a pumice stone,
|
| Fold banknotes in a plump folder.
|
| There were letters, plans and goals,
|
| There once even medals shone.
|
| Where between the rubbish gathers dust on the shelf
|
| Just an x-ray of smoky lungs.
|
| Where are you, lady, go,
|
| In the x-ray room?
|
| With us, here at least you die,
|
| Until three o'clock lunch!
|
| We are tightly tightened in the Garden Ring,
|
| On the "Sapsan" we go to the neighbors on the water
|
| Waste in the hell of St. Petersburg at the weekend
|
| And drown in the Neva in bad weather.
|
| Inhale-exhale! |
| No friends, no lovers.
|
| My final blackens in shop windows,
|
| Highlighted in large print on the packaging
|
| Where is the x-ray of smoky lungs.
|
| We take off the blouse
|
| Don't wait at the door!
|
| cuddled chest,
|
| Breathe in one, two, three!
|
| Chip-chip-chips are waiting for us and tariffs are jumping.
|
| Oh, we are not up to rhyme, now we are not up to rhyme;
|
| Oh, we have no time for jokes and colorful dresses,
|
| The nurses sigh heavily over us.
|
| They say: “We will soon slaughter the bones,
|
| Soon we will become golden-toothed aunts,
|
| We can only see through the white of the cataract
|
| Only an x-ray of smoky lungs."
|
| How to run to the doctors
|
| I would take an aspirin.
|
| Call who is further there
|
| You are many, I am one. |
